Why do I have you brainstorm and collect your information in a Google Doc before putting in to final draft? Explain.

You do it so that we have all of our information gathered. We basically have all the info that we will need to complete the infographic. It helps us be able to see how much things will be put into our graphic. It will also show us exactly how much information we have to work onto a certain amount of space.

Where are you at with your 5 paragraph essay so far? How is it coming? Is it easy to write? Difficult to write? Is it helpful that you created an outline first? Explain.

I am finished with my 5 paragraph essay, I am just reading over it and self-editing it now. It was easy to write for me. The outline I created really helped me be ready for the essay. It helped organize and gather everything I had to say. All I needed to do after the outline was just transfer everything in it into paragraph form. The outline was really beneficial.
